What does SYNTH mean in Scrabble?
noun
informalmusic
An electronic musical instrument that generates and shapes sound electronically; a shortened, informal form of synthesizer.
A synth produces sound through electronic circuits or software rather than through strings, reeds or vibrating air columns, which lets a single instrument imitate anything from a piano to sounds that exist nowhere in nature. Musicians and producers adopted the short form synth once the instrument became common in popular music from the 1970s onward, and the shortened word now appears more often than the full term synthesizer in casual conversation about music. A synth can be a large keyboard instrument, a small desktop module, or a piece of software running inside a computer. Bands built around this sound are usually described as synth-pop or electronic acts.
